Led Zeppelin

KASHMIR, Zeppelin at their best in my opinion. Plus it gives me the opportunity to provide the perfect background music for this post.

Paradise in Conflict

It is easy to see why the paradisiacal, prismatic Kashmir valley is caught in the middle of a conflict between India, Pakistan, and China.

Luxury Yarn

Cashmere is the luxurious wool from the cashmere goat, found in the Kashmir region of India and Pakistan.

Kashmir Mono is an incredibly soft, fingering weight pure cashmere from Urth Yarns. Hand dyed in incredibly vibrant monochromatic shades, you will absolutely love working with this yarn.

Kashmir Mono is available in sixteen gorgeous shades.

I have several one-skein patterns to share with you today courtesy of Urth Yarns. Simply click on the images below to download each pattern:

We currently have the Kashimi shawl on display at the shop. It is beautiful!

If you prefer a larger size shawl, Double Kashimi worked with 2 skeins of Kashmir Mono is now available. This is also a free download courtesy of Urth Yarns.
